Apache to NGINX

  • I’m planing to migrate from Apache to NGINX.
    Q1> How to migrate a WP Multisite from Apache to NGINX?

    Reasons: Faster, Lighter
    Drawbacks: No CGI, Subversion, WebDAV, .htaccess support
    #The CGI problem can be fixed by FastCGI
    #Subversion is not that important
    #WebDAV is kinda important but we can live without it.

    Q2> BUT what about .htaccess???

    Q3> What kinda problems i can face?

    I’m using APC too ??
    What about Varnish? you have any idea?

    @andrea
    That’s what I’ve mentioned on my 3rd comment.

    Which one is better ?
    Varnish + Apache or NGINX + Apache or NGINX + PHP-FPM + APC ?

    What is the basic difference between these two “Using NGINX as a front end proxy to Apache” & “100% NGINX”?
    I understand that configuring it as a front-end proxy to Apache so that unsupported requests will be handled by Apache thus we can use mod_rewrite/.htaccess and minimize all those migration issues..
    But other than that? Is there any kinda advantage of using 100% NGINX?

    Some food for thought.

    The latest video from WordPress.tv is a nice one. Here TJ Stein talks about Varnish + Nginx + PHP-FPM + APC.

    The slides are not visible in the video. So, here is the link to the slides.

    Truly Awesome ??

    Do you only have one server? Use Nginx.

    Do you only have one server? Use Nginx.

    Can you please elaborate? I’m not getting your point/logic.

    If you only have one server for your site and not multiple servers, you are better off using just Nginx instead of Apache+all the other options.

    You asked above:

    How many servers you have is the difference.

    And If I have multiple servers? I mean I’m planing for A Multi Servers Architecture. What would you suggest then?

    #Is there any good reference for WP-NGINX Configuration?

    And that’s where we reach the extent of my server knowledge. ??

    At this time, there’s no real decent WP-nginx resource. just some blog posts here & there, and mostly for one box.

    Anything bigger than that is vague, or basically a “here’s how we did it” guideline.

    Good stuff here tho:
